Unfortunately, there has been no significant parallel movement to examine and measure performance in the public health system (Handler, Issel & Turnock, 2001). This study advances a model of performance measurement in public health based around logic model constructs (inputs, processes, outputs, impacts, outcomes) that focuses upon explanatory variables (inputs or resources) within the realm of control of the local public health agency (LPHA), and their subsequent effect on LPHA outputs (services or functions). Forty-three of the 46 LPHAs selected participated in the study for a response rate of 93 percent. The investigation included measuring the Human, Informational, Organization and Fiscal Resources of the LPHAs to determine the effect upon LPHA outputs, namely the Assessment, Policy Development and Assurance functions of public health (commonly referred to as the Three Core Functions of Public Health). Analysis to uncover the presence of any relationship between the explanatory variables (LPHA inputs or resources) and the dependent variables (LPHA outputs), was undertaken using canonical correlation analysis, with confirmatory analysis conducted through multiple regression. Results concluded that only modest relationships existed between the explanatory variables and the dependent variables noted, and such relationships were limited to the Organizational and Informational Resources of Public Health. As part of the investigation, a ranking process is elucidated, and implications for professionals and suggestions for further research are provided. inputs and outputs public health benchmarking Examining the Relationship Between Local Public Health Agency Inputs and Outputs Kinesiology & Community Health 1581 Community Health 0349 University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Dissertation Ph.D. PHD:Community Health -UIUC 10KS0349PHD
